Notes & reviews

Napoli turned his ankle as he reached 2B; he did not slide into the bag and when Fernando Salas's throw sailed over Rafael Furcal's head into CF, Napoli ducked under the leaping Furcal; there was a delay while the trainer checked on Napoli
pitcher missed bag
3Bman blocked bag with his right foot; Holliday dove back to the bag head first and jammed his right hand against 3bman's Beltre's foot, thus not touching the bag; Holliday hurt right pinky finger
Nelson Cruz suffered a strained right groin during this at bat and left the game
